According to the «White Book of Sarnen», Tell shot the Habsburg bailiff Gessler with an arrow in Hohle Gasse. According to Ägidius Tschudi (around 1530), a chapel was built to commemorate it, which was completely rebuilt in 1638. The Tells chapel (patrocinium: St. Margareta, later 14 Nothelfer) received an altarpiece by Caspar Wolf in 1760. In 1905, Hans Bachmann painted Gessler's death on the facade and Tell's death in the Schächenbach in the interior.
